Georgian Society for East Yorkshire

http://www.georgiangroup.org.uk/

The Georgian Group is the national charity dedicated to preserving Georgian buildings and gardens. Every year we are consulted on over 6,000 planning applications involving demolition or alterations. Our intervention has helped save many Georgian buildings and protect others from unsympathetic alterations. It is often through our influence that a better solution is found.

The York Georgian Society was founded in 1939 to promote the preservation and care of Georgian buildings in and around York, England, while fostering the study and appreciation of them. It is the second oldest society outside London devoted to the Georgian era. The Society's remit extends beyond architecture and the crafts associated with building to include the arts, culture and society of the period from 1660, the year of George I's birth, to 1837, the year of William IV's death.

Yorkshire has a wide variety of vernacular buildings, from the yeoman-clothier houses of the West Riding, to the field barns of Swaledale and Wensleydale, and the brick farmsteads of the East Riding. By studying buildings in detail, and using documentary and oral evidence from a variety of sources, the Yorkshire Vernacular Buildings Study Group (formerly the North Yorkshire and Cleveland Vernacular Buildings Study Group) is building up a picture of the different styles of local architecture.

3: To encourage any development leading to improved conditions in which to live and work.

4: To encourage high standards of architecture and town planning in Beverley and District.

5: To pursue these ends by means of meetings, lectures and the promotion of schemes; and by cooperation with Local Government Authorities and other organisations.

The Laurence Sterne Trust was established as a registered charity in 1967 in order to promote the writings of Laurence Sterne, the 18th century novelist and vicar of Coxwold. Shandy Hall is where he lived and wrote The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman and A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy.

The Trust promotes Sterne's work and international reputation through exhibitions, events and public access to the property and its collection. Shandy Hall is situated 15 miles to the north of York in the beautiful surroundings of the North York Moors National Park.

We are a registered charity of civic societies around the Yorkshire and Humber region. Our member societies are independent, grass roots groups of citizens who seek to enhance the quality of life in their communities. The movement has come a long way since the most recent phase of civic societies began in the 1960s and 1970s. While we still regard the protection of heritage in the built environment as a key aim, we see new development as a sometimes necessary step in the direction of vibrancy and prosperity in our communities. Where civic societies once viewed development in a largely negative way, the civic society movement in our region looks to present development as an opportunity to create the heritage of tomorrow. At YHACS, we are driven by a desire to reconcile the past, present and future of our townscapes with a vision that is developed by communities in their local civic societies.

he Churches Conservation Trust is the national charity protecting historic churches at risk.

We’ve saved over 345 beautiful buildings which attract almost 2 million visitors a year. With our help and with your support they are kept open and in use – living once again at the heart of their communities.

Our estate is the largest single collection of historic churches in the country, featuring treasures ranging from virtually untouched medieval gems in idyllic rural settings, to ornately impressive Victorian masterpieces in busy town centres. We also protect a small number of inner urban churches with serious repair problems, which need new uses and significant funds to survive. All our churches are of international importance and interest.
